Chic Wall-Mounted Racks
There’s something so clean and elegant about wall-mounted racks that makes them a favorite. In my Boston apartment, I use a sleek metal rack that keeps my medals organized and visually stunning.
Race Bib and Medal Combo
Combine race bibs and medals on a single display. I love how this setup tells the full story of each race, from start to finish.
Shelving with Hooks
Combining shelves with hooks is a wonderful way to create a multi-layered display. I’ve found this especially useful for displaying both medals and memorable race photos.
Customizable Display Boards
Personalize your medal showcase with a customizable display board. I love adding motivational quotes and race details to mine, making it a truly unique statement piece.
DIY Shadow Boxes
Shadow boxes are a fantastic way to create a 3D showcase for your medals. I crafted one using reclaimed wood, adding a touch of rustic charm to my decor.
Fireplace Shelves
Turn an unused fireplace into a stunning medal display with added shelves. It’s a unique way to incorporate both charm and achievement into your home.
Under Shelf Hanging
Hanging medals under a shelf can save space while keeping them in view. It’s a subtle way to integrate your achievements into existing decor, just like I did in my study.
Repurposed Bottle Rack
For a vintage touch, consider a repurposed bottle rack for your medals. I love how this unexpected piece adds character to my collection.
Greenery and Medals
Mixing medals with a bit of greenery can create a refreshing display. I love how small succulents add life and color to my medal wall.
Space-Saving Pegboards
Pegboards aren’t just for tools—they’re perfect for organizing medals too! I painted mine white for a clean, modern look that fits seamlessly into any room.
Minimalist Industrial Shelving
Embrace a minimalist aesthetic with industrial shelving. The combination of clean lines and raw materials is something I’ve always loved for a clutter-free display.
Industrial Pipe Hangers
Create an industrial look by using copper pipes as hangers. I find the warm tones of the medals pair beautifully with the metallic finish.
Vintage Frame with Supports
A vintage frame with wooden supports can elegantly showcase your medals. I’ve used one in my hallway, giving my medals a place of honor.
Furniture Displays
Why not use your furniture as a display area? I attached medals to the side of my bookshelf, turning it into a functional and decorative piece.
Drooping Rope Displays
For a whimsical touch, use a drooping rope to hang your medals. I adore how this dynamic display adds movement and flair to any room.
